Structured Relation Discovery using Generative Models
We explore unsupervised approaches to relation extraction between two named entities; for instance, the semantic bornIn relation between a person and location entity. Concretely, ...

Probabilistic Group-Level Motion Analysis and Scenario Recognition
This paper addresses the challenge of recognizing behavior of groups of individuals in unconstraint surveillance environments. As opposed to approaches that rely on agglomerative ...

Properties of Bethe Free Energies and Message Passing in Gaussian Models
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. We define the Gaussian fracti...

On Deep Generative Models with Applications to Recognition
The most popular way to use probabilistic models in vision is first to extract some descriptors of small image patches or object parts using well-engineered features, and then to...

Prior Information and the Determination of Event Spaces in Probabilistic Information Retrieval Models
Abstract. A mismatch between differenteventspaceshasbeen used toargue against rank equivalence of classic probabilistic models of information retrieval and language models. We ques...

PCFGs, Topic Models, Adaptor Grammars and Learning Topical Collocations and the Structure of Proper Names
This paper establishes a connection between two apparently very different kinds of probabilistic models. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) models are used as "topic models&qu...

Probabilistic Models of Verb-Argument Structure
We evaluate probabilistic models of verb argument structure trained on a corpus of verbs and their syntactic arguments. Models designed to represent patterns of verb alternation b...

Evolutionary models for insertions and deletions in a probabilistic modeling framework
Background: Probabilistic models for sequence comparison (such as hidden Markov models and pair hidden Markov models for proteins and mRNAs, or their context-free grammar counterp...

Discriminative probabilistic models for passage based retrieval
The approach of using passage-level evidence for document retrieval has shown mixed results when it is applied to a variety of test beds with different characteristics. One main r...

A probabilistic model of gaze imitation and shared attention
An important component of language acquisition and cognitive learning is gaze imitation. Infants as young as one year of age can follow the gaze of an adult to determine the objec...
